Article 23 punishes anyone who, through any medium involving the use of information technology, exhibits, disseminates, transmits, or sells pornographic material or material reserved to adults, without first giving the due warnings for the user to restrict access by children and adolescents. The duty is a warning requirement rather than a specified verification or age-gating mechanism, and the statute does not describe what form the warning must take.
